eyewitness

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'couple of views in the observer?' is the definition.
'eyewitness' can be an answer for 'observer?' (eyewitness is a kind of observer). I am unsure of the 'couple of views in the' bit.

'in the observer?' is the wordplay.
'in the' becomes 'eye' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'observer?' becomes 'witness' (witness is a kind of observer).
'eye'+'witness'='EYEWITNESS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eyewitness that I've seen before include "Spectator" , "He observed" , "evidence?" , "One who sees what happens" , "The Observer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
